Chapter 268 The Person She Can't Afford to Offend
The old headmaster recalled for a moment and nodded, saying, "This year's snow was much lighter than in previous years. I remember you even praised Xiaoshu back then."
Sheng Tingchen quietly watched the woman on the podium speaking clearly and eloquently. The lights shone on her, making her seem to radiate light.
He smiled faintly and said, "I don't quite remember."
"It's normal to not remember after so many years." The old principal looked at the two on the stage and couldn't help but recall the past, recounting, "Tingze and Xiaoshu were such a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman. I remember Xiaoshu was sick and had to take a year off from school in her second year of high school. Because of her illness, Xiaoshu wasn't as pretty, and Tingze stayed by her side the whole time, not allowing the other students to laugh at her. Now, seeing how good their relationship is, I wonder when they'll get married, haha!"
Sheng Tingchen listened to the old principal's words with a slight smile on his lips, but he did not respond.
After the donation speech, there will be alumni activities, followed by a cultural performance in the evening.
Many students came to Rong Shu and Sheng Tingze to ask for autographs and photos.
Faced with the students' requests, the two did not refuse to sign autographs for them. They stood in the middle and took a group photo with the leaders, teachers, and students.
The woman's eyes and brows always held the purest and most beautiful smiles.
After the students left.
The former principal led Sheng Tingchen over.
When Rong Shu saw Sheng Tingchen, she wasn't too surprised, after all, he was one of the top alumni of the affiliated high school.
I hadn't seen him all day and thought he wouldn't come, but I was surprised that he actually showed up.
Rong Shu and Sheng Tingze shook hands with the old principal.
The three exchanged pleasantries for a few minutes.
Afterwards, the old principal introduced Rong Shu to Sheng Tingchen, saying, "Xiao Shu, this is Sheng Tingchen, the president of Yunshan. He's also Tingze's cousin. You presented him with flowers as a student representative when you were in your first year of high school. Now you've both achieved great success! Haha!"
Rong Shu looked at Sheng Tingchen, guessing that he had long forgotten her, and greeted him politely and distantly, saying, "Mr. Sheng."
Sheng Tingchen nodded with a smile and said, "Miss Rong has achieved remarkable success, which is truly impressive."
Hearing the man's hypocritical words, Rong Shu only smiled insincerely and said, "Yes! It's a good thing I resigned from Yunshan back then, otherwise I wouldn't be who I am today, and I would be too embarrassed to attend the affiliated high school's anniversary celebration."
His seemingly "gentle and polite" words were like a bomb going off.
The former principal and a group of school leaders were stunned.
Anyone with eyes can hear the sarcasm in those words.
Even though Rong Shu is now successful in her career, Sheng Tingchen's status and position are still people she cannot afford to offend. Offending him would not do her any good and could leave her with nothing overnight.
Judging from Rong Shu's appearance, she didn't seem like someone who lacked sense of propriety.
Today, Rong Shu donated quite a bit to the school. The old principal was worried that Rong Shu might offend Sheng Tingchen, so he quickly smiled and smoothed things over, saying, "Tingchen has always been very strict with himself, and the same goes for his work. Xiao Shu, the fact that you were able to join Yunshan shows that you are truly outstanding."
Rong Shu could tell that the old principal was giving her a way out. If it were anyone else, they would have flattered Sheng Tingchen about his cultivation and let the matter drop.
Rong Shu understood the old principal's good intentions, and she didn't say anything excessive, only smiling gently.
Sheng Tingze said, "Principal, the director and I still need to go to the school museum, so please excuse us."
The old headmaster could only smile and say, "Alright, then you can go first."
Rong Shu said goodbye to the former principal and a group of leaders, and then left with Sheng Tingze.
Anyone could see that Rong Shu was ignoring Sheng Tingchen.
Was she just being arrogant and self-important, or was she genuinely confident and unafraid? But Sheng Tingchen didn't seem to show any anger at all from beginning to end.
On the contrary, it seemed as if they were condoning her saying those words.
Watching the two figures depart, the old principal looked at Sheng Tingchen and asked with a puzzled expression, "Are Tingze and Xiaoshu getting married soon?"
After all, apart from this reason, the old principal really couldn't think of any other reason why Rong Shu had the confidence to ignore Sheng Tingchen like this.
Sheng Tingchen said, "I have indeed heard that Miss Rong is married, but not to Tingze; they are just friends."
The former principal was shocked.
Rong Shu and Sheng Tingze visited the school museum.
"Only you, Xiaoshu, dare to speak to him like that. Anyone else would probably just be waiting for bankruptcy liquidation tomorrow."
Rong Shu smiled faintly, "Then it's my honor."
Sheng Tingze laughed along and changed the subject.
They didn't let the director continue to follow them, wanting to wander around on their own.
So many years have passed.
The school as a whole hasn't changed much, except for a few new buildings.
The two went to their old class.
The students are all out participating in activities right now, so there aren't many students around the teaching building.
The two leaned against the corridor window, reminiscing about the past. Only after entering society can one truly appreciate the beauty of student days.
The two then went to the playground.
When some students saw Sheng Tingze, they knew he was the former captain of the school's basketball team and invited him to play basketball together.
Rong Shu said to him, "Go ahead!"
Sheng Tingze took off his coat, and Rong Shu reached out and took it from him.
Sheng Tingze single-handedly took on several elite basketball players from the school team.
After three rounds of driving.
Sheng Tingze scored consecutive goals, and several players couldn't even touch the ball in his hands.
Cheers erupted throughout the basketball court, especially from the female students who were incredibly excited and were all recording videos on their phones.
Rong Shu clapped along.
Sheng Tingze smiled arrogantly at Rong Shu, looking much younger than the group of teenagers.
"Senior, can't you let us have a point?" a student said.
Immediately afterward, a student joked, "What do you know? The senior's girlfriend is watching, so the student has to show off."
Sheng Tingze glanced at the man's head. "Are you coming or not?"
The words fell.
Suddenly, a ball was thrown from outside the court into the basket.
Everyone was startled.
Rong Shu paused for a moment, then looked up and saw the man who had appeared. He was tall and handsome, with deep and sculpted features, and his long legs encased in suit trousers were particularly eye-catching.
In an instant.
The entire basketball court fell silent.
Sheng Tingchen strode up to Sheng Tingze. "It's been a while since we brothers have played basketball. We happen to have some time today, so how about a couple of games?"
Sheng Tingze looked at him.
The two standing together are a visual feast of good looks. They look quite similar, but Sheng Tingze has a more youthful vibe, while Sheng Tingchen is more mature.
"Can."
The students playing ball with Sheng Tingchen automatically moved to the sidelines.
Sheng Tingchen took off his coat and walked towards Rong Shu.
Rong Shu frowned as she looked at the man walking towards her.
He stopped and stood in front of her, saying, "Help me with this."
